Ghanaian winger Joseph Amoako has signed a three-year contract with FC Samtredia in Georgia’s top-flight league, with an option for an additional year.

The 21-year-old shared his gratitude on social media following a challenging period in his career.

Amoako’s move follows a difficult experience with Swedish club Helsingborgs IF, where he faced rape charges and imprisonment before being exonerated.

On Instagram, Amoako reflected on his struggles: “These past years have been a great test, but I’m forever grateful to God, my agent, my advisor, my parents, and some very important people who supported me during difficult times. Now, God has done it again, and we will celebrate this win together.”

Expressing his excitement for the future, Amoako wrote: “I’m forever grateful and humbled to have a great team behind me. It’s time to refresh, rethink, and restart. Let’s make history.”

Before his ordeal in Sweden, Amoako was on loan at Helsingborgs from Ghanaian giants Asante Kotoko. He made nine appearances for the Swedish club before their relegation from the Allsvenskan last season.

FC Samtredia sees significant potential in Amoako, who is expected to play a key role in the upcoming season.
